Chicken Run is my favorite Aardman feature so this announcement both excites and worries me. I can't help but feel a little disappointed that Aardman has hopped on the sequel train with Shaun the Sheep 2 and now Chicken Run 2.

I suspect Aardman's decision to start making sequels may be diminishing returns at the box office - in the USA at least. They know the original Chicken Run is popular and highly-regarded and are trying to exploit that. Perhaps if they get back on their feet they will start announcing original projects again.

I just wish The Pirates! had done enough at the box office for it to get a sequel(s). I strangely liked that film (not something I thought I would've enjoyed), and it was disappointing to read that they would've made follow-ups if it had only done a little more.

Pity Free Birds did that already. Somehow I cannot see Aardman making a movie involving Thanksgiving, though. It is an exclusively American holiday and Aardman's films are very, very British.

In other news: I have since received the Chicken Run blu-ray and watched it. AV quality is fine, though I would have liked grain to be more finely resolved. I suspect they used an older master for it, but it's ok. Detail is decent. No issues to report in the audio department.
